molting under water dish
molting under water dish
My most active crab hasn’t been out for a few days and I noticed disturbed eco earth by the water dishes so today I finally lifted it up. There’s a clear hole under the dish but no access out of it. I can’t tell if he’s down there but assuming he is should I move the water dish to a different location or leave it be. I’m worried about lack of oxygen and what not but I know my crabs bury under a hollow rock sometimes too.

Leave it be. There’s enough air movement in the soil for them to get all the oxygen they need.

They tunnel through the substrate. He could be all the way on the other side of the tank.
